Solution - Compound interest (basic)

12731.54

12731.54

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 5, 088$ , $r = 14 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 7$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.14$ , $n t = 7$ , so the growth factor is $2.5022687913$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $5, 088$ × $2.5022687913$ = $12731.54$ .
